Important Information About Estonia
Driving bans and accessibility
In Estonia, there are no general driving bans for freight traffic on Sundays and public holidays. As a result, transport can, in principle, take place year-round without nationwide weekend restrictions.
In Tallinn, however, additional restrictions apply to vehicles transporting hazardous materials. These vehicles are not permitted to drive through the city during the morning rush hour from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and during the evening rush hour from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. When transporting hazardous materials, this must be taken into account in route and time planning.
